Many golfers suffer from knee injuries even though golfing is a low-impact sport. Professional golfers such as Tiger Woods have had to withdraw from PGA Tournaments due to knee pain. A strong golf swing puts an amazing amount of force on your body, which stresses your knees and can cause a golfer to overstretch, or even tear, a ligament. Right-handed golfers put a lot of pressure on their left knee, and vice versa for left-handed golfers. It is strongly recommended for golfers to warm up before golfing and to get training on a proper golf swing. Wearing a knee brace for golf can also help prevent injury and reduce pain.
